You probably know who Marie Curie was,but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson.Of the outstanding ladies listed below,who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams(1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Rachel Carson(1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmen tal movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.

O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks(1913-2005)

Many people especially beginners，often complain that listening to spoken English is too hard for them.
But if you don’t understand what people are saying，how can you converse (交谈) with them? It may be difficult，but learning by listening is necessary. It can be done.
It is a common fact that different people have different pronunciations of the same word. Standard pronunciation is the basis for English study, especially of listening.
If your pronunciation is not standard，it is hard for other people to understand you as it is for you to understand them.
You may know the words when they are written down. That’s important.You should plan to read every time you practise speaking and listening.
Select a set of good books with cassettes. Do the exercises, from the simple to the difficult, step by step.As for listening, you have many choices: Watch English －language films, listen to English－language radio and television programs.
Try to listen every day，even if only for a few minutes. At first，you may understand few words or perhaps only familiar names such as Clinton. Don’t give up. Just listen.
On TV, you can guess some of the words from watching what is happening on the screen.Gradually, you will find yourself recognizing some words.Try topronounce them. Do you sound like the person on TV?
Are you speaking standard English? Remember to read and practise speaking. It will help you to listen better. You may find many words that you missed or didn’t understand when you were listening. Every day, spend an hour reading English.
Talk to English－speaking foreigners whenever possible. Talking face to face is the liveliest textbook.In general, foreigners will speak more slowly with you, use simple words, and use gestures to help you understand them.

Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize（交往）with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.
That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.
When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issuesrunning around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.
A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new farm cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see. He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle. They’ll lie down on the grass together when tired.Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doe sn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another
eyeless cat, said that cats don’t have disabilities(残疾), they have adaptability(适应性).9.Why did Jack come to our home?

If you’re like most kids, you’ve probably made more than a few paper airplanes in your day. But how many kids can say their paper airplanes have been built life-size and then flown? At least one: 12-year-old Arturo Veldenegro of Tucson, Arizona, who won the Pima Air& Space Museum’s first annual(一年一度的) Great Paper Airplane Project Fly-Off in March 2012.
“The purpose of the competition is to inspire and draw kids’interest in science and flight,”says Tim Vimmerstedt, director of the museum.
About 150 kids entered the competition. The young designers learned about how airplanes fly and then set to work designing their own planes.
Arturo designed and built his airplane. When he finished, he took his plane to the flight area and let it fly, outdistancing the other competitors in all age groups. At last, Arturo’s airplane flew the farthest---more than 75 feet!
As the winner, Arturo got to meet with a team of engineers, who took his design and made a bigger one. The new paper airplane might have been the largest one ever built! Arturo named his large paper airplane Arturo’s Desert Eagle.
Later a helicopter tried to lift the paper airplane over the Arizona desert, but it was unsuccessful. Engineers worked for eight hours to repair it for a second try. This time, the helicopter managed to raise it to 2,700 feet and then set the plane free.
Arturo watched as his plane flew through the sky at a speed of up to 98 miles per hour for 10 seconds before falling to pieces.
“I felt happy but sad,”Arturo says, “It flew really well, but it was sad to see it destroyed.”But that wasn’t the end of Arturo’s Desert Eagle.The Pima Air & Space Museum collected the pieces of the broken plane and put them on show to inspire other young engineers to reach for the sky.
13.According to the text, the Great Paper Airplane Project Fly-Off competition _______
A. has been held many times
B. can only be entered by kids
C. is to choose the largest plane
D. is held by a team of designers
14.In the end, Arturo’s Desert Eagle ______

15.The test is mainly about______

C.a boy and his paper airplane
D.visiting the Pima Air & Space Museum
第二节（共5小题每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.__16__ But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.
Get out of bed earlier
If you normally get up at 7：30 a．m., try getting up at 7：00 a．m. That half hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish. __17__
Do the important tasks first
Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent(紧急的) one). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.__18__ The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won’t miss the important ones.
Reduce interruptions(打扰)
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration. When you’ve got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. __19__ Wearing headphones(耳机) makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.
__20__
A few minutes’ chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. When you’re working, work. If your concentration
(注意力) is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch(伸展) your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.
A．Stay focused on your work.
B．Take breaks when necessary.
C．If you have an office door, close it.
D．If you work like this, you’ll usually save time.
E．Would you want me to make your day longer?
F．I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.
G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.
